Introducing Kant Quotes

“The experience of freedom is shattering, always preceded and bounded by pain (and dependent upon pain). Yet this affirms the subject’s uniqueness to experience freedom. Pain is the sense of a division or a difference between the subject and the infinite (between life and death), an experience of Nature’s utter in-difference. Such an absolute experience of Nature’s implacability is an experience of desire for that which is beyond experience (the Other). This is to experience desire absolutely, since the Other is absolutely absent: sacrifice as desire, desire as sacrifice.”
